What is the Espresso Labs MSP Partner Program?

A program that lets MSPs add compliance (CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, and more) and managed cybersecurity services (SOC, EDR, ITDR, SIEM, SAT, vulnerability scanning, incident response) to what they already offer, refer or resell Espresso Labs’ AI-powered platform, and earn recurring revenue while keeping the client relationship.

Do I need to replace my existing RMM, EDR, or other tools to join?

No. Adding a compliance practice or managed cybersecurity services runs side by side with the tools you already have in place. Modernizing onto Espresso Labs’ consolidated all-in-one platform is an option for later, not a requirement to get started.

How do MSPs earn through the program?

Through recurring revenue on every client you bring in, whether as a referral commission or reseller margin, plus deal registration so your pipeline is protected as it grows.

What's the difference between a referral partner and a reseller partner?

As a referral partner, you introduce clients and Espresso Labs runs the engagement, earning you a recurring commission with no delivery responsibility. As a reseller partner, you sell under your own client relationship and billing while Espresso Labs powers the platform and delivery behind the scenes.

Is there a cost to join the MSP Partner Program?

No. There’s no fee to apply or join. Reseller partners receive wholesale pricing, and referral partners aren’t required to purchase anything.

Can I use Espresso Labs internally for my own MSP business?

Yes. Partners get not-for-resale (NFR) licenses to run Espresso Labs internally, so you can protect and showcase your own business, not just your clients'.

Three Ways to Grow With Espresso Labs

These aren't mutually exclusive. Many partners start with one and add the others as client needs grow.

Add a Compliance Practice

Offer CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, and other frameworks as a new, high-margin service line, running side by side with the RMM and other tools you already have in place.

Add Managed Cybersecurity Services

Layer on 24/7 AI-powered threat detection and response backed by human experts, proactive threat hunting, and fully managed EDR, ITDR, SAT, and SIEM, all delivered under your brand, alongside your existing stack.

Modernize Onto One Platform

When you're ready, consolidate onto Espresso Labs' all-in-one, AI-automated platform in place of juggling separate tools for every function, and let the automation run it instead of your techs.

You can also ask about our package covering all of your compliance and legal documentation, from policies and SSPs to MSAs, SLAs, and NDAs. See our GRC Dashboard page for details.

Turn Compliance Into a New Line of Business

Your clients are asking about CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, and a growing list of frameworks more often every year. Most MSPs either refer that work out and lose the revenue, or try to bolt on a GRC dashboard that tracks gaps without closing them.

As an Espresso Labs MSP Partner, you plug an AI-powered compliance and security platform into your existing client relationships, refer or resell it under your own engagement, and keep the revenue and the relationship instead of handing both to someone else. There's no need to rip out what's already working. Pick the model that fits each client, from adding compliance on top of your current stack, to layering on managed cybersecurity services, to modernizing onto our consolidated platform.

✓GRC Dashboard: every control, policy, and piece of evidence in one place
✓Policies & Procedures: pre-built, pre-mapped templates for CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, and more
✓Control Implementation: controls enforced in practice, not just documented
✓Continuous Monitoring & Remediation: issues flagged and fixed automatically, around the clock
✓Security Awareness Training: automated phishing simulations with evidence retained
✓Vulnerability Scanning: continuous scanning with findings routed automatically
✓Penetration Testing: regular testing for real-world weaknesses
✓Firewall Monitoring: misconfigurations and anomalies flagged in real time

✓Secure Enclave (for CMMC): a fully managed, isolated environment for CUI
✓Automated Evidence Collection: evidence gathered continuously, not assembled by hand

Managed Cybersecurity Services, Delivered Under Your Brand

Clients increasingly expect more than patching and a help desk. They want 24/7 AI-powered threat detection and response backed by human experts, proactive threat hunting before an alert even fires, and real incident response when something goes wrong, not another dashboard full of noise.

Espresso Labs runs that security operation behind the scenes, under your brand, so you can offer it without building a SOC, hiring analysts, or burning out your own team.

✓Managed EDR: AI-driven detection and containment, backed by human analysts
✓Managed ITDR: identity threat detection and response, catching compromised credentials and account takeovers
✓Managed SIEM: log collection and correlation across every client, without running it yourself
✓24/7 Managed SOC: round-the-clock monitoring that filters noise so only real threats reach you
✓Proactive Threat Hunting: actively hunting for signs of compromise before they trigger an alert
✓Security Awareness Training (SAT): phishing simulations with evidence retained
✓Vulnerability Scanning: continuous scanning, findings routed automatically
✓Incident Response: expert-led response when something goes wrong

When You're Ready, One Consolidated, AI-Automated Platform

Instead of stitching together an RMM, a separate EDR agent, a backup product, a training portal, and a vulnerability scanner for every client, you can deliver all of it from one AI-powered platform, with automation running it instead of your techs.

Patching, threat containment, evidence collection, and routine remediation happen automatically across every client you support, so you can grow your book of business without growing headcount to babysit a dozen dashboards. This is an option to modernize when it makes sense for a client, not a requirement to get started.

✓Device Management: configure, patch, and manage every endpoint from one console
✓EDR: automatic detection and containment, no manual alert triage
✓Backup: automated backup and fast recovery, monitored for failures
✓Cloud Security: continuous posture monitoring, built in rather than bolted on
✓Secure Email & File Sharing: encrypted and built in, no separate add-on
✓Compliance Tools: CMMC, HIPAA, SOC 2, GLBA, FINRA, and NY DFS controls enforced automatically
✓IT Ticketing: built in, tied directly to what the platform sees and fixes
✓Compliance Policies & Documentation: policies, SSPs, and documentation mapped to enforced controls
✓MSP Legal Contracts: ready-to-use agreements, no blank page
